Why did you copy my username?:evil:

As for the apps, just type that word in search and check reviews of first 3-5 apps and install your preferred one. Get File expert first:)

:rofl : hahaha
For pdf , get Adobe Reader.
For office , there is an Office Suite.
And for saving battery using "Easy battery saver".

Download/Open google playstore and search through the categories there.
You will find lots of useful apps in the play store.

Btw , How is A110 build and quality wise , specially the IPS display. IS it crisp enough ??
Does it lags ???
I can't wait to see this phablet from MMX , which my friend has ordered.

Thnks.. I heard so many apps are fake and have virus,thats why i asked for suggestions..

And also suggest apps for camera,video, browser and for entertainment apps..

The phone is quite light and good build but it is very huge,can't carry around properly :D need some time to get with it..
2 things are bad
1.Phone gets heatup after continuous usage of 30min -1hr..(give some rest to phone :D)
2.Battery backup.If you play games for 15-30min,the battery drains very quick like 30-40%..
I can't say much about the battery though, i just bought it yesterday.let me check for 1week

Between screen quality is really good.But handle with care is needed.. :)

I am an android developers (compile CM10 based roms for xperias)
I will recommend you not to use any task killer and battery saver as they actually use a lot of battery and RAM.
if you kill tasks using task killer they start up again causing the battery to be used more. Android is such a OS which kills the old and unneeded apps when ever the RAM is needed.

Easy Battery saver is an option to save the battery but let me tell you that the battery problem in Andriod is quite common and you may have to get ur mobile recharged every now and then if you are using it for a long time..

4. Dialer : Exdialer
5. Messeging : Go SMS Pro
6. Camera Soft : Camera Zoom Fx

turn of wifi and data when not needed..do not run maps or facebook or any browser and turn off the screen without closing them..if you have any email app set the refresh interval to as long as you're ok with..and congratulations on your purchase :)
